Chapter 36: Just Like Me

20 Minutes Earlier:

Hinata was running through the tree-tops as she searched for Naruto. She had been looking for him since he Kureha revived Lee. But that soon came to a halt when she saw a blonde blur "NARUTO!" she shouted as Naruto stopped

"Who said that?" Naruto asked as he turned around to see Hinata jump to the ground

"N-Naruto,"

"What do you want?" Naruto asked with a glare as Hinata flinched

"N-Naruto, l-listen to me... Y-you're innocent! I-It was O-Orochim-aru a-and Danzo, t-they se-set you up," Hinata said as Naruto glared and smiled at her

"Oh really? And how long did it take for you to realize this? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?!" Naruto shouted, "I've tried for revenge again and again, but every time I either hear that Danzo is dead or Orochimaru has been killed by the crown Uchiha prince!"

"W-what?" Hinata asked

"But I think I might as well give up at this point, all I want now... well, I'm not gonna say," Naruto said as he turned around, "but let's get one thing straight. You get in my way, you die. Just like Lee. And for what's it's worth... yeah, I know."

"W-what do you know?"

"I know it was Danzo and Orochimaru. Lee kept saying this up to his death. I could feel it in his punches, but it's too late for me,"

"And what about Minako?" Hinata asked as Naruto looked at her

"How did you know that name?" Naruto growled

"We saw her. She's got her father's whisker marks," Hinata said as Naruto's eye twitched

"You stay away from her, you got that? I got my backstabbed by you lot and I'm not letting the same happen to her," Naruto said

"A-and what would Kokoro say if you had her daughter not have any friends?!" Hinata said as Naruto started to twitched

"W-hat did you say?" Naruto stuttered

"W-what would Kokoro think?" Hinata asked as Naruto punched her in the gut

"What would Kokoro think? WHAT WOULD SHE THINK?! Oh, no, no, no, she doesn't think; she does!" Naruto shouted as he pulled on Hinata's hair, "Tell me, do you know how Minako was made?"

"N-no," Hinata asked even though she knew the partial-answer

"I was raped, several times in prison! And every time she put little pearls of truth into my head... maybe I should do you the same courtesy," Naruto said as he tore off Hinata's sweater and shirt

"N-Naruto! W-what are you doing?!" Hinata shouted as Naruto smirked

"You asked what would Kokoro do," Naruto replied as Hinata started to cry

"P-please, d-don't," Hinata begged as Naruto started to pull on her hair harder

"She didn't stop, why should I?!" Naruto asked as he smacked Hinata across the face. Her head spun away from him as Naruto smirked "How does it feel? To be treated like something expendable? HOW DOES IT FEEL?!" Naruto shouted as he heard giggling. He raised an eyebrow as he heard it coming from Hinata. Her shoulders were moving up and down as familiar voice said: "Do that again... daddy~~" as Hinata turned her head to reveal... Kokoro. Naruto dropped her as he backed away "Y-you! W-what are you doing here?!" Naruto shouted as he pointed at her

"Isn't it obvious? I came to congratulate you," Kokoro replied as she looked at him

"Congratulate me? What are you talking about!? You're supposed to be dead!"

"Oh, I can never die. I'll always be with you, Naruto-kun~~~, no matter what you do,"

"Shut-up... SHUT-UP!" Naruto screamed as he vanished and appeared. His hands around her neck as he pushed her to the ground "You're dead! You hear me?! DEAD! AND IF I HAVE TO PUT YOU BACK IN THE GROUND, I WILL!" Naruto shouted as he started to choke Kokoro harder

"Y-you know that 'congratulate you' thing I was going to do earlier? W-well here it is, good job popping her cherry! HAHAHA!" Kokoro said, "You're gonna be just like me," she continued as Naruto started to shake

"Sh-shut-up! I-I'm not like you! I REFUSE TO BE LIKE YOU!"

"Oh, you will... you... will," Kokoro said as she vanished. In Kokoro's place was a weeping Hinata as she said: "N-Naruto, p-please s-stop... i-It hurts," and Naruto froze just as she passed out. But his shaking didn't stop. His teeth chattered as he saw droplets of water splash against her face. He slowly removed his hands from around her neck as he stood up and whispered: "W-what have I done?" as he turned around and vanished, leaving Hinata on the ground.

Present Time:

Naruto was on the bank of a river. He was curled up into a ball as he was crying. Naruto lifted up his head as he looked into the water and saw his reflection, but it soon vanished as it was replaced by Kokoro "You're so cute when you cry, you know that?" Kokoro said as Naruto grit his teeth

"Shut-up," He said as Kokoro just continued talking

"It's a shame, really. I would've liked it if Minako had a brother or sister. Hey, if you did do the deed, would a good boy name be Boruto?"

"I SAID, SHUT-UP!" Naruto shouted as he punched the glass-smooth water hard enough to give it the effect of shattering. As he did that, multiple images of Kokoro appeared in the water fragments as they all smirked "We'll always be a part of you, Naruto-kun~~~, you can't escape me," they all said as Naruto bent down and covered his ears

"GO AWAY! SHUT-UP!" Naruto screamed as they all laughed

"Never," they simply replied as Naruto started to punch the water out of the air, "we'll always be with you. You can never escape us! WE WILL NEVER LEAVE!" Kokoro's voice echoed as Naruto cried his eyes out as he swung his fists violently. He didn't care what he hit, just as she was gone.

Inside Naruto:

"Everything is shaking! Why is everything shaking?!" Spec asked as everyone was trying to keep their balance

"WEEEEE!" Dorian-kun said as he was laying down

"T-the whole mindscape is collapsing! W-we need to stabilize him!" Yanagi explained

"But how? We're not physiatrist!" Doyal said

"We need to get to the fox!" Sikorsky said

"What good is a 500-ton ball of bur going to do?!" Spec questioned

"He's been alive longer than us! H-he should know what to do!"

"A-alright, if ya say so!" Spec replied as everyone tried to make their way to the seal... except for Dorain-kun, who was on the floor laughing.

2 Minutes Later:

"T-this place looks like a broken glass!" Spec said as he saw everything breaking apart

"It-it seems that he's destroying himself from the inside-out!" Kaioh Dorian said as he was trying to keep his balance

"I see that cage!" Doyal said as he pointed at the large containment area

"Thing looks like a deluxe cell!" Spec commented as they all ran to the cage and banged on it, "HEY! FOX! WAKIE-WAKIE!" Spec shouted as a stumbling Kyubi walked over to the cage

"You here to fix the earthquake?" the Kyubi asked

"Thought you knew!" Sikorsky said as Kyubi rubbed his chin

"I got an idea, but it's gonna hurt!"

"Anything!"

"Pull the seal off! I can't get it from this side, so you gotta do the job,"

"Alright, up I go!" Sikorsky said as he climbed the cage. After a few seconds, Sikorsky was at the seal and he pulled it off "Okay, what now?!" Sikorsky asked as he looked around and found himself staring at a rainbow-colored, golden room. Sikorsky felt himself on solid ground as he looked around "Where am I?" he asked

"That's what I want to know," Spec asked

"Where's the fox? Where's the shaking?" Doyal questioned

"Whatever this place is, be glad that the shaking has stopped," Kaioh Dorain said

"Let's look at this rationally and try to figure where we are," Yanagi said as they heard two voices

"Minato? Where are we?"

"I think... we're inside the seal, Kushina,"

[Well, hope you enjoyed the chapter]
